The Challenge

The high cost of patient falls

Patient falls are among the most common and devastating adverse events in healthcare facilities. For elderly patients, those in rehabilitation or with cognitive impairments, an unmonitored fall can lead to severe injury, prolonged stays and immense legal liability. Periodic nurse rounds and traditional bed alarms leave dangerous gaps, especially when patients wander into unobserved areas.

The Solution

Ovitag™ Patient Safety & Fall Risk Management

Trackerwave turns reactive care into proactive protection. High-risk patients wear sterilisable BLE wristbands (TWBL2) with built-in 3-axis accelerometers and SOS buttons. The system continuously monitors movement and location. If a sudden fall is detected, or a patient wanders beyond a safe geofenced boundary, an emergency alert is instantly pushed to the nearest available nursing staff.

Key Features

Proactive wander prevention & fall response

Automated Fall Detection

Built-in accelerometers detect sudden drops or impacts and trigger instant alerts without patient input.

Geo-Fencing & Wander Prevention

Virtual boundaries around wards or beds — alerts staff and integrates with security doors when high-risk patients attempt to exit.

Idle & Rest Alerts

Monitors inactivity and notifies the nurse station if a patient has not returned to bed within a specified duration.

One-Click SOS Button

Patients can manually request immediate assistance via the integrated distress button on their wristband.

Location-Based Alert Routing

Fall and distress alerts bypass noisy central desks and route directly to the closest nurse’s coaster or mobile app.

Real Results

Proven operational excellence

Deploying Trackerwave’s Fall Detection and Alerting creates a profoundly safer environment for vulnerable populations:

  • Rapid intervention — automated alerts ensure nurses reach fallen patients in seconds, reducing injury severity.
  • Reduced hospital liability — actively prevents wandering and minimises adverse event reporting.
  • Enhanced patient privacy & dignity — continuous safety monitoring without invasive cameras.
  • Lower average length of stay — preventing fall injuries prevents extended stays and readmissions.
